You have to remember all the money there's in anti-spam and anti-virus business. If no viruses or spam they would go bankrupt.
Wonder how much money [remember, time = money] spam costs to clear? If I spend ten minutes a day clearing spam, shall we multiply ten minutes by 1 billion? THEN how much does spam end out costing EACH DAY? I make peanuts, let's say, um, $1.50 in ten minutes. That means it costs me, in time wasted, or 'spent' $547.50 in a year. Let's multiply that by 1 billion, shall we? Okay, you get the picture, right?
Since I opend a gmail acount I get almost no spam. Only 1 spam mail has ended up in my inbox in the last 4 weeks. All other ended up direcly in the spam box. And I am routing all mail to my old address to my gmail address so was no need to tell all my friends that I changed address.
I am caught in a hard place. I got a yahoo account many years ago. Believe it or not, my yahoo email addres = my name. My name exactly, first name, middle initial and surname. like this: JohnPMonkeyman@yahoo.com I am reluctant to give that up. gmail? I will look into it. However, I am skeptical. I haven't found a way to get web based emails to be forwarded like POPmail can be. Then again, things is movin awfully fast fer this old timer.......
I have an email account, paul at *********.co.uk - i've had at least 3 call centre people remark to me in telephone calls what a cool email address it is - but I get about 30 spam emails a day in to it. Im loathe to give it up And I pay for it as well...
I expected that..... Send me an email and I will return an invitation. My address: john.e.rehn@gmail.com U can use gmail with pop mail too... I have actually 3 email addresses at different isp. But reading all mail by gmail. This invitation system is to make i harder for spammers to use gmail. When u have got gmail for a while u can invite others. Will be away tonite, will send any invitations tomorrow
